Application filed January 10, 1913. Serial No. 741,362.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Nns'ron HEADLAND, asubject of F inland and the Czar ofRussia, residing at Chicago, in thecounty of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Machines for'Pasting, Trimming, and Cutting WallPaper, of which the following is a description.

My invention belongs to that general class of devices intended tofacilitate the hanging of wall paper or the like, and relatesparticularly to a device for evenly applying and distributing thedesired amount of paste to the wall paper, for trimming one or bothedges of the paper, cutting the same lengthwise into strips, if desired,and for indicating. the length of paper to be out of, and cutting thesame at the desired point.

The invention-has among its objects the production of a device of thekind described that is simple, compact, durable, eflicient, andsatisfactory, that may be used wherever found applicable. With thedevice, injury to the paper, either by wrinkling or creasing, or bysmearing paste upon the front of the paper, is prevented, and the paperis accurately trimmed and cut for the purpose intended.

To this end my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangementand combination of parts herein shown and described, and moreparticularlypointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like orcorresponding parts, Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved device,the paper being removed. Fig; 2 is a sectional view taken substantiallyon line 2, 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken substantiallyon line 3, 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken substantiallyon line i, 4 of Fig, 3. Fig. 5 is an end elevation with a portion of thedevice looking substantially on the line 5, 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is across sectional view taken substantially on line 6, 6 of Fig. i. Fig. 7is a sectional view taken substantially on line 7, 7 of Fig. 6, and Fig.8 is a cross sectional view taken substantially on line 8, 8 of Fig. 1

Referring to the drawings, in which the preferred form of my device isshown, a frame is provided having end pieces 1, 1, and a bottom piece 2,which may be provided with the legs 3, if desired. Qrdina rily, however,the legs-3 are not required, as the machine may be placed upon thefloor, or upona table, orother support.

In the drawing, 5 represents a roll of wall paper, a portion 6 of whichisrun off the roll 5, the end portion 6 being discharged from themachine, trimmed, and pasted, ready for hanging,and if desired, foldedor piled, as at 6 The; trimmings 6 are discharged where they-maybegathered up and removed.

rirranged between the end 1 of the frame is a suitable paste tank orreceptacle 7 The paste receptacle is detachable from the frame, and ispreferablyarrangedso that it maybe transversely-moved into position, andat the same time elevated to the paste roll or applier, as hereafterdescribed. The paste receptacle, or its support, may also be adjustable,so that the receptacle may be supported at the desired height relativethe paste roll. The receptacle shown is provided with a plurality ofpins 8 at each end, each of which has a roller 9 arranged thereon.Brackets 10 are provided, one for each roller 9, which are extended asat 11 to substantially form tracks, and are secured to brackets 12,which are secured to the sides of the frame by thumb screws or bolts 13.The bolts 13 pass through slots 14 in the sides of the frame and areprovided at the outer ends with the winged nuts 15, or the equivalents,so that the supports may be secured at the desired points. As isobvious, when the paste receptacle is moved in be tween the ends 1, 1 ofthe frame, and supported ontracks 11, the transverse -movement of thesame causes it to be elevated up to the brackets 10, which aresubstantially formed with notches or pockets to prevent the receptaclefrom sliding back.

Rotatably mounted above the paste receptacle on a shaft 17 is arranged apaste roll, or paste applier 18, which is provided with a suitable pastecarrying face or surface 19- of felt, or any equivalent material for thepurpose. Itwill be noted that the paste roll projects into the'pastereceptacle, so that as the roll is rotated in the direction indicated bythe arrow in'Fig. 2, it

becomes coated with paste and applies a coating of paste to the plain orblank side of the paper-6.

The rollof wall paper 5 is arranged upon a core 25, mounted upon a shaft23 (see Fig. 4) which shaft is detachably mounted so that itsubstantially acts as a brake and prevents the paper from being drawnoff too rapidly, or the roll spinning. Thev core inay be sliced orsectioned, as are some of the rolls hereafter described, or anassortment of cores of different lengths provided for use with paper ofdifi'erent widths.

I Referring particularly to Figs. 4, 6, 7 and 8, the end of shaft 23 isprovided with an adjustable tubular end 29, into which the end of shaft23 extends, which part 29 ex tends through the bearing block 24, and isprovided with a hand wheel 30 for ad ustment. The end29 is preferablysquared as at 29, as shown in Fig. 8, andupon the;

end is mounted a c0llar 31 and the flange 28 having an extended part 28.Between the two is positioned a spring 82. As is obvious, when the handWheel 30 is turned, the flange 28 may be pushed-toward the flange 27.This permits an adjustment for different widths of wallpaper, and alsopermits the variation in the pressure upon the end of the roll, sincethe tension of the spring 32 may be made as desired.

vAs most clearly shown in Figs. 6. and 7, the block 24 is provided withflanges 33 and 34 and a set screw 35, provided for locking the part 29,and preventing its rotation. Any equivalent construction for the purposemay be employed. Arranged proximate the paper carrier is what may betermed a feeding or alining roll 41, which is mounted upon a shaft 40.This roll is preferably provided with a flange 42 at each end, and isprovided with a plurality of removable sections 40at one end, so thatthe same may be made applicable for any width of wall paper. This willbemore fully explained in the operation of't'he machine. These sectionsmay be termed slices so that the roll may be said to be a sliced roll. Where the paper roll is even or square at the ends,one alining roll isall that is usually required. However, where the roll of paper is nottrue, there are times when one alining roll will not be suificient toaline the paper and keep it running straight or true. I have thereforeprovided rolls 43 and 46 in addition to theroll 41. The

V roll 43 is mounted upon a shaft 45, and is It isprovided preferablynot rotatable. witha flange 44 at each end, andalso sliced in a mannersimilar to the roll 41.

The 101146 is rotatably mounted upon a shaft 48rand provided with aflange 47 at each end, and the roll is also. preferably sliced similarto the other rolls just described. .In Fig. 2 the paper is shownextended over all of the alining rolls, and in Fig. 3 only over roll 41.

device.

This is also more fully explained in the description of the operation ofthe Supported by a shaft 50 is what maybe termed a cutter or cuttingroll 51, which is preferably provided with a face or surface 52 of zinc,or other suitable mate'rialfor the purpose. Zinc, however,is'found very,satisfactory, and preferred *forthe purpose,

inasmuch as it does not dull the cutters as quickly as would a face ofsteel ,or similarly.

hard material, and does not rust. .Mounted.

proximate the paste roll 18. and cutter roll 51, iswhat I'have termed aregulator roll 54, provided with a suitable face. 'The regulator roll 54is preferably adjustably mounted so that the position of thesamerelative the cutter may be as desired. Any, adjust:

able mounting for the same may be pro videdsthat is satisfactory for thepurpose.

As shown, each endof the shaft 53 is mount- 1 7 ed, or secured. inan-adjustable bearing block 55 (see Fig. 5) which is maintained in placeby a bolt or screw 56 in engagementwith a plate 57 secured to the frame.I The paste.

regulator roll 54 maybemade of slices, if

desired, so that a portion of it may be re moved when using the machinefor very narrow strips. If it were all one long piece, it would not beso convenient to paste onehalf strips without smearing the remain-- ingpart of the regulator roll, and;co-nsequently, perhaps, the right orfront side of the wall paper. If desired, a scale 55, and

a pointer 55 may be provided on each side,"

asshown in Fig. 5, so that theshaft 53 mav be alined with the shaft50011 the cutter roll. i

Arranged proximate the cutter roll are one or more cutters 69, the samebeing preferably ad ustably mounted upon a rod or shaft 67 so that theymay be placed at thedesired point on the cutter roll, or may be turnedback out of operative position,

asmost clearly shown in Fig. 3. To main-' tain the cutters 69, each ofwhich is secured to an arm 68in the desired'position relativethe' cutterroll, or in cutting pos tion, I provide each arm with a spring 68, andarrange abar 70 across the machine arrangedto bear down'upon all of the'springs'on armsp68 that are in cutting position.

frame, as clearly shown in Fig. 5, by means of bolts 71' and plates 72.The pressure upon the springs, and consequently'the pressure of thecuttersupon the cutting roll, may be varied by turning the bolts 71 inthe desired direction. Tn order thatthe pressure on all ofthe cuttersmay befthe same, a scale 7 0 and pointer 70 may be provided at each. endof'the frame, as illustratediin Fig. I also preferably provide a scaleThe'bar 70 is I ad ustably 'mounted at each side of the Ice upon the topface of the part 70, as most clearly shown in Fig. 1. It will be notedthat the plates 72 may beturned out of position so as to release the bar70 when it is desired to turn back many of the cutters, or

to change the position of the same upon the rod 67. The cutters areintended to trim the paper at each end, or cut it length-wise at anydesired point between the sides. To cut the paper the desired length, acutter 7 5 is provided, the same being movable length-wise the cutterroll. As shown, the cutter 75 is carried by an arm 74: secured to ashaft or rod 73. Thehandle 76, for convenience in raising the cutter oroperating it, may be provided if desired. It will be particularly notedthat the design of the paper may always be conveniently seen by thepaper hanger, thereby making it easy to determine where it should betrimmed or cut elf.

In the drawings I show a roll 62 mounted above the cutter roll, the samebeing preferably made in a plurality of substantially short sections, orslices, throughout its length, so that the cutters may enterbetween thesections. The sections are also slidably mounted upon the shaft 61,which is rotatably mounted in the frame. As most clearly shown in Fig.2, the shaft 61 is square where it passes through the sections 62, sothat as the shaft is rotated, the sections are also rotated.

The shaft 53 upon which the roll 54: is secured is provided with a gear58, which meshes with the gear 22 on the paste roll shaft 17, to whichthe operating handle or crank 21 is secured. At the opposite end of theshaft 53 is a gear 59 arranged to mesh with a gear 60 on the shaft 50and drive the cutter roll. The gear '60 is arranged to mesh with thegear (33 on the shaft 61 and drive the sliced roll 62; It will be notedthat the teeth on the gears 22, 58-, 59 and 60, are substantially deepso as to allow the adjustments of the shaft 53, as previously described.While the sizes of the gears may be made substantially as shown, or asdesired, they are preferablyabout the proportions shown, and it may bementioned that the gear 22 being slightly largerthan the paste roll 18,the paper has a slightly greater speed than the surface 19 of the pasteroll,

so that there is substantially a wiping-aetion, which thoroughlydistributes the paste upon the paper.

To remove any excess paste on the paste roll, a wiper 81 is secured upona shaft 80 (see Figs. 2 and 3), and arranged to be controlled fromoutside of the machine. This wiper is also preferably arranged so thatany paste removed by the wiper will drop into the paste receptacle. Ialso preferably provide a wiper, or excess paste remover, 7 8, which maybe mounted upon a shaft 77.

The purpose of this wiper is to remove excess paste that may accumulateon the cutter roll. The Wipers or excess paste removers are preferablyarranged so that they may be operated or controlled from the out side ofthe machine. A chute 7 9 extending across the machine is also providedfor directing the paste removed by the wiper 78 into the pastereceptacle. To indicate or measure the paper passing through themachine, a scale 8% may be provided upon the end of the frame (seeFig. 1) having suitable characters thereon, and a pointer 83 upon theshaft 17. In the device shown, when the pointer has traveled once aroundthe dial, eighteen inches of paper has passed through the machine. Thefinger or pointer 83 is preferably made adjustable so that it may beset-at the desired point. It is, of course, obvious that any equivalentmeasuring device may be employed, and if desired, a counting device usedin addition. The counting device affords a convenient way of keepingaccount of the paper positioned through the machine, and also enables acheck to be made upon the amount of paper in the roll of wall paper. Theapplication of a counting device is so obvious to those skilled in theart that I have not considered it necessary to illustrate one.

To file or fold the paper as indicated at 6 in Figs. 2 and 3, I providean adjustable arm 87 at each side of the machine, between which isarranged a roll 88. The arms 87 are carried by brackets 89 on the framesecured in the desired position by screws 90. The operation of the sameis obvious, the weight of the paper causing it to be folded back andforth. I also show an adjustable frame consisting of the uprights 91 and92, having cross-bars 9-1, over which the paper (indicated at this pointby numeral 98) may be manually pulled or drawn when it is not desired touse the piling roll 88 to fold the paper discharged from the machine. Byusing the distributing frame just described, the paper hanger can takethe paper from the machine at a point above his head, which, in somecases, may be desirable.

The operation of the machine may be briefly described as follows, itbeing assumed that the paper roll 5 is arranged as shown, and that thesame is substantially true at the ends, so that it will run off truerelative the roll. over the roll 41, over the paste roll, under theregulator roll, and between that and the cutter roll, and over thecutter roll between that and the sliced roll, the paste receptaclehaving been previously slid into position and elevated to its supportingbrackets. The several cutters G9 are positioned at the desired trimmingor cutting points, those not desired being turned back out of operativeposition. It may be assumed that the out- In this case it is extended isextended'o'ver the auxiliary alining rolls l andi l6, is extendedsubstantially as shown in Fig. 2, the additional rolls assisting theroll rl in alining the paper, so that it. will run true. If it isdesired to runa narrower paper through the machine than that for whichthe fianges on the end of the several rolls are set, the flanges may bemoved over between the slices, bringing them-to the desired point, so asto contact with the two edges of the paper. The various slices orsections shown may be removed from the shafts by removing the shaftsfromj the frame, it being understood, however, that,

if desired, the sections may be made detachable from the shafts, or sothat they can be readily detached or shifted without removing theshafts, if so desired. vI have not considered it necessary to illustratethis. The pressure of the regulator roll 54: and the cutters 69 upon thecutter roll may be varied as found desirable. In orderto raise thetrimmed edges of the paper from the cutter roll, I. employ fingers 100,or their equivalents. These fingers may be mounted upon the frame or atany desired point. As illustrated in the drawings, they are adjustablymounted upon the partition or waste paste carrier 79. They consist ofthe part 100 having an extended part 101 for clamping the finger to thepartition mentioned. As is obvious, they may be positioned wheredesired, depending upon the position of the cutters. If it is'notdesired to have the paper run faster than the paste roll, as in the caseof a paper that would tear or fracture easily when wet, an additionalcover may be placed on the pasteroll so as to increase itscircumference, so that thecircumference, or face, travels at the samerate of' speed as thepaper. I i

It will be particularly noted that the machine will paste the papersmoothly, and that the parts can be regulated to any desired width orthickness of paper, or paste on'the paper, and for that reason it issatisfactory for anythickness of paper, or wall papers having differentsurfaces. It'will be particularly noted that there is no irregularpulling of the paper by hand, that is by the operator grasping thepaper, but with the paperbeing positively driven by the gears, the paperis piled evenly and regularly. It

is adapted to trim the edges of the paper,

as Well as split or cut the paper lengthwise at any desired pointbetween the edges, and the trimming and cutting will be absolutely trueand straight, making, itv easy for the paper hanger to hang'the paperwith the seams together. The machine is also adapted to paste and trimthe edge of cut-out borders, which. work is very difficult when done byhand.

Vfhile Thave particularly mentioned wall paper, it is obvious that the.machine is adapted for. pasting and trimming and cut ting papers of allkinds and sizes, and pasting and cutting .walcrusta, burlaps, andsimilar wall coverings. It may also be mentioned that in this case it isnot absolutely necessary that the wall covering be in the form of a roll5, as it may pass over. the rolls, and thence to the paste roll, withsatisfactory results In all cases the workisefficiently done, both as tothejamountof pasteand its application or cutting and trimming, so thatthe paper may be taken from themachine, cut to the correct length andwidth,

and ready for hanging. 7

Having thus described my invention, it is obvious that variousimmaterial modifications may be made in the same without departing fromthe spirit of." my invention, hence I do not wish to be understood aslineiting myself to the exact form,construction,.
